Perhaps for those people who are inflexible in their thinking and 
therefore have a problem with thinking outside "the square".

I started off with KDE years ago because I simply HATED gnome, but then 
switched over to gnome only to find it being vandalised by something 
which calls itself Unity; so I went back to KDE (4.6) only then to find 
that Gnome 3 was far superior to not Unity but KDE 4.6 as well.

But I have to admit that before really discovering Gnome 3 I did think 
that the future only lay in KDE.

In a few months' time it may be something called ZIPPO which will have 
no icons, menus, nothing to click on, no need for a mouse or keyboard, 
no desktop at all in fact, nothing but a black blank screen (which will 
stop all this crap about video card problems) and all one has to do is 
to THINK what you want to do and....VOILA! the app. appears on your 
screen and at exactly the place you wanted it to start.

"That is THE FUTURE, Brother!"

(Have you listened to Leonard Cohen's. The Future, which is played at 
the end of the movie, Natural Born Killers?

Nothing to do with Gnome 3 but it is a damn good song :-) . YouTube.)
